Please help !!

A scatter plot is made to model the number of boxes of cereal in Jason's store on different days. The data used for the scatter plot are shown in the table below. Assume that new boxes are not bought to replace the boxes sold:

Days


5


3


8


6


0


4

Number of cereal boxes sold


50


70


20


40


100


60


What does the slope of the model represent?

The price of each box of cereal

The original number of cereal boxes sold

The number of cereal boxes sold on the first day

The number of cereal boxes sold per day

Answer 1

Answer: The number of ceral boxes per day.

Because the slope will be [rise of the grah of the model function] / [run of the graph of the model function].

rise = [increase in the number of cereal boxes sold]

run = [days elapsed ]

rise / run = number of cereal boxes sold per day
